I have never been a fan of Gurkhas. It is not that they are bad... they just aren't very good, and there is usually better out there for similar money.

If you like Gurkhas, great... then this looks like a nice deal.

But you could also consider the Horn o Plenty sampler (http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...D212&scSlide=5) which gives you 5 Gurkhas, but also CAO America, Partagas and 5 Vegas as well. For the same $49 you are getting a lot more value, even if you wind up not caring for or hating the 5 Vegas (whenever I get a bundle that includes 5 Vegas, I invariably wind up giving them away).

Gary, I use 3 of these Drymistat humidifiers in my 50 cigar humidor. They seem to work pretty well. I only re-fill them every few months and the three of them keep the humidity at 65% according to my hygrometer.
